Haptic Fields is a series haptic vibrating sculptures in wood.
Each sculpture contains a vibrator motor. Reusing customised electronics, technology from sex toys, smartphones and gamepads is used to translate sound into vibrations - a tactile language familiar in our modern age through the daily use of consumer electronics. The wooden sculptures have rough surfaces, which invite the viewer to take - and feel the sounds they transmit - sounds that originate from field recordings of birds, beaches and wind, among other things.
The sculptures in Haptic Fields explores this fundamental question; How do we listen with our skin?
